I'm sure he feels very proud about what he's done.

Give that seal a fresh fish.

The murder of innocent people is nothing to be proud of. With war, everyone loses. Disgusting.

Simo had one huge advantage over most modern snipers:

A target rich environemnt.

Almost forgot: he also didn't have to wait for permission to pull the trigger.

Yeah, but if he hadn't killed all those people, we wouldn't have any freedom. Think of all those enslaved and un-free citizens of countries like Finland and Switzerland, and be lucky we have the best education and health care systems in the world provided by our excellent snipers.

I'm bored enough to bite. How are the people he killed innocent?

Straight from wikipedia (new window):

"On March 6, 1940, Häyhä was shot in the lower left jaw by a Russian soldier during combat. The bullet tumbled upon impact and exited his head. He was picked up by fellow soldiers who said "half his head was missing", but he was not dead: he regained consciousness on March 13, the day peace was declared."

Badass?

Maybe if he'd worked harder in school he'd have been able to go to college and get a real job.

"We just got word that the president of Iraq said that anyone left in the city is bad - meaning, clear to shoot," he recalled for The Post. "From that point on, every fighting-age male was a target."

(U.S. military officials estimated that 70-90% of the 300,000 civilians in the city fled before the attack - wiki on 2nd battle of fallujah)... that's 30,000 people at least left in the city.

Hah. So the president of Iraq said anyone left in the city is "bad". Hmmm, seems to me the entire pop of Fallujah didn't evacuate, so Mr. Legend Sniper probably killed some (a lot?) people who weren't "bad".

The dumbass probably thinks "gawd" was on his side as well. Sad sad sad person.

Dude. WTF is with the sarcasm? Do you hate America or something?

Those heroes go over there and risk their lives so you can write the kind of garbage you're spewing there. You should be on your farking knees thanking them, not heaping your scorn on them.

If could have been ten times that number, but he insisted upon firing his weapon only after taking a spin-jump off a balcony while just barely brushing his scope across his eyes.

Is he deadlier than Russia's infamous female snipers of WW2?

Annnnnnnnnnnnd, they're off...

FTFA: "You see us? We're the people kicking your ass. Fear us, because we will kill you, motherf--ker," he writes."

Sounds like a real stable fellow. Sounds like exactly the kind of mindset we don't need for a soldier in our invading army, attempting to stabilize a region and bring democracy and peace to its people.

How can we succeed when we have idiots like this with a sniper rifle and clearance to shoot any military aged male they see?

And people wonder why these guys hate us so much. Might as well be a 9/11 hijacker, what a piece of trash.

AverageAmericanGuy: I'm sure he feels very proud about what he's done.

Only thing he feels is recoil

Crediting God for his longest kill? Wow, what a piece of shiat.

LegacyDL: Badass?

No. He's several levels above 'badass' on the awesome scale. He's got a score of at least 14MR (MegaRambos).

Really. In fact I would have preferred we handled the whole "war on terror" entirely with spies and snipers.

What's thismshiat then?



Not gonna get out of bed just to read a NYPost story.

"We just got word that the president of Iraq said that anyone left in the city is bad - meaning, clear to shoot," he recalled for The Post. "From that point on, every fighting-age male was a target."

Holy shiat.

Things like that make it considerably easy to rack up a high score, as long as you don't have a heavy conscience.

Yes, plinking zerglings will really boost your stats

Yes, by all means, let us elevate this cold blooded killer to hero status.

Crazy drunken female with a gun > Everyone

Why crazy and drunken? They were Russian.

I believe I'll need another beer for this thread. The Rambo thread from earlier was getting stale...

Awful lot of retardation in here. Who cares if he likes god, or has pride, or hates god and is so modest that he hates talking about it. None of that matters.

I saw a murder once. I saw it through the scope of my rifle.

Inquisitive Inquisitor: Crediting God for his longest kill? Wow, what a piece of shiat.


Crediting God for success is superstitious. Crediting God for failure (the opportunity to participate in his plan whatever the path) is religious.


/atheist but knows the song

Whatever you chose to do in life, at least be good at it. Thats worthy of pride.

poursoul: Awful lot of retardation in here. Who cares if he likes god, or has pride, or hates god and is so modest that he hates talking about it. None of that matters.

Yeah, what matters is that he is human scum, and it makes me sick to think that trash like him is what our country considers worthy of praise.

I shot a dove from 2500 yards once with a pellet gun.

This is why a read Fark: for all the genuinely impotent rage.

The best free entertainment anywhere; thanks Drew!

On one principle alone. He was in someone elses country. If Iraqi (or any other of Americas enemy nations) snipers were on American soil and the head count was Americans (justified or not) you'd see things differently.

A rapist doesn't go around bragging about the women he's attacked and get honored for it, so why should this man be any more recognized? Because war is glorified to be a grand and wonderful thing? For who? No thanks.

He's a murderer of life. That's all there is to it.

Dinobot: ExperianScaresCthulhu: Is he deadlier than Russia's infamous female snipers of WW2?

No.

Then why are we supposed to give a fark?

Are you suggesting that Finland doesn't have snipers? (You might want to try googling who Simo Hayha was).

Yeah, Finland has had sooooo many snipers rack up 160 kills in their recent wars of aggression.

It's fine for a guy to snipe 160 dudes that are IN HIS COUNTRY.

Am I going crazy here? How is invading a country, shooting 160 guys, many of which the SNIPER HIMSELF ADMITTED WERE UNARMED anything like Finland defending itself from the Russians?

TravisBickle62: I shot a dove from 2500 yards once with a pellet gun.

You wimp; I once killed a sparrow from three clicks with a bow and arrow. Like a real man.

I get that to be a successful sniper you need to be a little... off. You have to be willing to look another human being in the face and to see them when you kill them. Not nearly the same thing that other soldiers usually have to do. I get that, I do.

But this guy sounds like a straight up sociopath. That and he clearly thinks God is helping him kill the farking brown heathens for the glory of Christ and it is downright repugnant.

Give me the quiet soldier who does his duty but doesn't relish in the fact that he is killing people. Doesn't think he is part of some grand farking crusade.

It says a lot about our "culture" when we elevate this trash as a hero above artists, teachers, and intellectuals.

Stupid camper

Subtle_Canary: Whatever you chose to do in life, at least be good at it. Thats worthy of pride.

Pretty much can't argue with this.

If you are this good at killing people though, next bullet should be aimed at the top of your throat. Do us all a favor.

Some asshole aiming a rocket launcher is not innocent.
